Abstract :
The ever-increasing demand of electrical energy makes it necessary to develop an efficient load demand management system for the electricity grids so that it gets converted into Smart grid. There are several standardized wireless communication technologies available for various smart grid applications among which (WiMAX) is seen as a well recognized technology able to fulfill the requirements of smart grid´s applications namely wide area connectivity and the quality of service (QoS) differentiated services. This paper proposes a WiMAX based traffic priority model for smart grid connecting Neighborhood Area Network (NAN) and Home Area Network (HAN) serving five different applications. Parameters namely overall network delay, throughput and network capacity are studied using OPNET 14.5 and also the implications of the cell size, number of users and interpolling interval (IPT) are analyzed.
